how to get all data in correct way firebase-real-time-database JavaScript

Question

I am using node.js and I am getting data from firebase real-time database. The problem is I am getting data something like this :

for data getting code! JS

import firebaseApp from '../config.js';
import { getDatabase, ref, onValue } from "firebase/database";


const userRef = ref(database, "Users");
onValue(userRef, (snapshot) => {

if (snapshot.exists) {
  const data = snapshot.val();
  console.log(data); // data printed to console
}

}, {
  onlyOnce: true
});

Console Output

{
  
 "random-user-id-1": {
    "name": "Jhon Doe",
    "profile": "profilelink",
    "email": "[email protected]"
 },
 
 "random-user-id-2": {
    "name": "Cr7",
    "profile": "profilelink",
    "email": "[email protected]"
 },

 // and more...

}

I want to display this data as an array of objects. Example of expected output

[

    {
    "name": "Jhon Doe",
    "profile": "profilelink",
    "email": "[email protected]"
    },
    
    {
    "name": "Cr7",
    "profile": "profilelink",
    "email": "[email protected]"
    }

    // and more........ ^_~

]

Any help will be always appreciated! and feel free to ask any doubts related to my question or problem!

thank you :)

Answer 1

seems like you need only the values from your dict, you can transform your data this way:

const lst = {
  
 "random-user-id-1": {
    "name": "Jhon Doe",
    "profile": "profilelink",
    "email": "[email protected]"
 },
 
 "random-user-id-2": {
    "name": "Cr7",
    "profile": "profilelink",
    "email": "[email protected]"
 },

}

const expectedFormatRes = Object.values(lst);


console.log(expectedFormatRes);

Answer 2

An alternative to Gil's answer would be to use Firebase's built-in. forEach operation:

if (snapshot.exists) {
  let values = [];
  snapshot.forEach((child) => {
    value.push(child.val());
  })
  console.log(values);
}

While longer, this has the advantage that it maintains the order in which the database returned the data, which becomes relevant when you specify an orderBy... clause on your query..
